Good Guys Spring National

Good Guys came back to Arizona.  And of course we had to go.  We worked Friday, had a wedding on Saturday, so we spent most of today (Sunday) walking the grounds.   This time mom and Mackenzie joined our motley crew.

Right at the gate we noticed far less people.  The D team was behind the wheel on the auto cross course.  And there was about ¼ of the cars as there were the last time we were here.  While it made for less eye candy, it wasn't nearly as overwhelming.

This time I only took 180 pictures, and focused more on details than on whole car shots.

Chevelle stripes

Blue Camaros



We noticed that the Graham owner had the same issue we have with the KTM.  
Q: "Who makes it?"
A: "Graham"
Q: "Yea, but who makes it"

I love me some hood ornaments.  I liked the Pontiac so much it will be featured twice.


WOODY!!


And, as you all know by now, I have a soft spot for teardrop trailers.

Some people take custom to a whole new level….

Oldsmobile

The owner of this car, leant it to a friend to auto cross.  It lived up to its name as during a spin out it ate a cone and took it along for the rest of the run.

Here's my hubby, excited to be allowed inside the Bondurant Corvette

Lots of beautiful custom paint…



GO ARMY!!!

The owner of a 1920 Dodge truck got a giant Liberty dollar in the mail.  Of course he immediately put in on his fire wall.  

These two beauties were hanging out together.


I can't say I was sad there were less cars today.  The sun was very hot today, and we were still on our feet for six hours.  But all five of us had a good day.  And day spent with family and cars is a good day.

Good Guys - 2013

We've been following reports of the show for years. We've watched the autocross races on YouTube. And this is the first time we've had the opportunity to go.

Good Guys

Wow…..

Thousands of cars: hot rods, rat rods, muscle, classic, trucks, sedans, coupes, convertibles. All The Cars! Eight hours, a few miles later and we left without seeing them all.  We started and ended with auto cross - we got to see Mary Posey race! (I didn't get any great shots of her though).

(I took 568 pictures...it was tough narrowing it down to 45)







We peeled Mike away from auto cross to begin journey through the cars.



Cars with replicas:





Dealer cars



Rusty cars


Cars towing





Candy colored cars










Police cars


Adventure cars




Details on cars






And trucks…my newest obsession. The next project car will be mine and I want a truck. 














And MATER!!


Tired but full of ideas, we left the perfect Arizona fall weather behind.  We fell in with the line of classics heading home for the night and came home.  Someday we'll be there showing off our completed Chevelle.
